The Secret River 神秘河

內(nèi)容概要

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings + Leo and Diane Dillon = pure
magic!
A depression era story that is just as timely as it is
enchanting, this is a stunning picture book for the ages.
There’s just not enough…not enough money, not enough food, not
enough fish for her daddy to sell at the market. Hard times have
come to the forest, but Calpurnia wants to turn them back into soft
times. With her little dog Buggy Horse and a tip from old Mother
Albirtha, the wisest person in the forest, Calpurnia finds a secret
river and uses the pink paper roses from her hair to catch enough
beautiful catfish to feed the whole swamp land —with some left over
for Daddy to sell. When she tries to find the river again the next
day, Mother Albirtha tells her, “Child, sometimes a thing happens
once, and does not ever happen anymore….You caught catfish when
catfish were needed…you will not find the river again.” This story
by the Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Yearling and literary
icon Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings is about living in a time of want,
yet it is overflowing with riches—stunning language, mystical
happenings, wondrous, wondrous artwork. Beautiful in all ways that
a book can be beautiful, this unforgettable picture book is a
classic in the making.
